Crescent Moons







Crescent Moon Muscle Tank- Brandy Melville
Acid Washed Skinny Jeans- H&M

This is my Maroon 5 concert outfit for Wednesday! I love this outfit so much. I picked this up yesterday when I went to the Marina. It's comfy casual, and really cute. The acid washed jeans have to be my new favorite pair of jeans. Not only were they deal, but the fit is so flattering. These are true skinny jeans and hug your ankles as well, so I'm planning to wear this with High-Top White Converse.

Sweater Weather



Brown Knit Sweater : H&M
Light Gray Waffle Knit Sweater: Forever 21
Baby Blue Dolman Sweater: Forever 21
Light Beige Crop Sweater: H&M

Starting from the bottom up, the brown knit sweater from H&M is so cute. It is thin, because it has holes, but it's very soft! I got this for $18.

The light gray waffle knit sweater from Forever 21 is my absolute favorite sweater of all time. It is so unbelievable soft and warm. It is a bit long and end at my upper thigh, but it has a cinch at the bottom! This was $22 and was the best investment I had ever made in a sweater.

The baby blue dolman sweater from Forever 21 is cute and soft. It's warm and comes in 6 other colors! I liked the texture of this sweater so I went and bought a white version of this that I ombre'd. This sweater is true to size, so if you want a bigger and baggier sweater, I suggest getting a large! This was only $12!

Last but certainly not least, is the light beige crop sweater from H&M. I'm not exactly sure what you call the color, but I think beige is a pretty close match. It is a crop sweater so it ends right around my belly button. This was the first sweater I fell in love with. I bought it last year and have worn it ever since. I'm not too sure how much this was but I think it was around $14.


Why do people love sweaters so much?
 I love sweaters because they're so easy to wear and super cute! When you're having one of those days where you have no idea what to wear on top, a sweater is the perfect solution. Sweaters are nice and cozy and feel like warm hugs! I wear sweaters so often because in the morning, it's always extremely cold, and a sweater keeps me nice and warm throughout the day! Where I live, it is basically winter every single day, except on those occasional hot days in October. 

What do I wear sweaters with?
I like to pair my sweaters up with leggings or dark colored jeggings or jeans. I like to wear boots with sweaters too! On and every day basis I might wear my sweater with combat boots, uggs, white canvas shoes, flats, or mocassins. On rainy days, I like to wear a sweater under a raincoat with rainboots. OR, if you don't mind getting wet, a sweater, beanie, and a umbrella.

Let's get Naked



I finally bought myself the Naked Palette 2! I was so excited! I wanted this eye shadow palette for so long, but I waited because it is pricey. Although I love my palette, I think everyone can agree with me that it is overpriced. I had a hard time deciding between the Naked Palette 1 and 2. The 1 had more brown earthy colors while the 2 had taupe and neutral colors. I am a bit sad that the Naked Basics Palette came out a few weeks after I bought my Naked Palette 2 because I'm more of a neutral girl for my eyes. BUT, the Naked Palette 2 has a really good range of colors, so I do feel happy with my purchase! (Especially because I only spend $20 on it since I got a $30 Sephora gift card for my birthday!)
(Above are some swatches of the colors in the palette)

(Above is the Naked Basics Palette)
The Naked 2 Palette includes 3 matte eye shadows. The rest have some sparkle in them. My favorite colors so far are Chopper, Suspect and YDK. The Naked 2 Palette comes with a dual ended eye shadow brush and a lip gloss, unlike the original palette. Overall, I think this palette is very nice and neutral, and has met my high expectations! Are there any other palettes that you love?

Palettes I want to try:

Stila In The Light Palette
I really want to try this because it is such a good deal. The palette is $39 all together. The eyeliner individually sells for $20! The only reason I haven't bought this is because of how it's similar to my Naked 2 Palette and the eyeliner. I do not like the Stila Smudgeproof Eyeliner at all! I bought one is stingray and returned it because it smudged all over the place and ended up under my eyes most of the time. I had used primer under this as well, so I just don't think this eyeliner and I are meant to be. Honestly, if I had saw this palette first, I think I would've bought this because it's such a steal. 

Too Faced Natural Eye Shadow Collection
$36?! ONLY? The colors are so beautiful, I think the only reason I haven't bought this is because some of the colors are similar to ones included in the Naked 2 Palette.

OH, all of these products were purchased at Sephora, so if you like shopping there for your makeup, or are interested in buying one of these palettes or some makeup items, I suggest you sign up and become a beauty insider! There are nice perks and your points will add up! Happy shopping :)
